WACO, Texas – No. 15 Baylor women's tennis is set for a busy weekend of travel as they face UCF at 5 p.m. Friday in Orlando and Houston at 1 p.m. Sunday at the Barbara Wallace Winston Tennis Facility in Space City.
Baylor (11-1) is coming off their fourth sweep of the season, the second at 4-0, against West Virginia. UCF (10-1) has won its last three matches, including a 4-3 win against No. 25 Oklahoma State. Houston (3-5) has lost its last five matches and will battle No. 40 TCU on Friday before seeing the Bears on Sunday.
BU currently is 2-4 all-time against UCF, its last meeting in March resulting in a 4-2 Baylor win at home. The Bears lead the series against Houston, 6-0, including a 6-1 victory last March. Sunday's match marks the first time the Bears will face Houston outside of Waco.
